POLICE COURT JURISDICTION.
Tho Court In General Term Delivers an
Important Opinion.


Justice James this morning delivered
the opinion of the Court in General
Term in the case Of the United States
VS.. the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company, which was before it on de-
murrer to plea as to jurisdiction, the
defendants claiming that the Police
Court had full powers. The action as
stated by the court was ''to remove a
nuisance, commonly known as the Bal
timore and Potomac Y ,lread."
The defendants set nrth that IL was
misdemeanor and that punishment was
limited to punishment in the jail or
fine or both, and that in cases where the
punishment is not imprisonment in the
penitentiary jurisdiction is in the Police
Court.
In the case of bawdy house it had
been decided that the Police Court had
exclusive original jurisdiction and it was
contended that the same rule would ap-
ply to this case. But in the case of a
bawdy house the abatement of the nui-
sance by the Chief Of Police is provided
for, and the jurisdiction of the Police
Court is entirely effective,
In the present case, however, the Po-
lice Court had no power beyond the i'm
position of fine or a sentence to i'm
prsonment; it could not enforce the
abatement of the nuisance. The de-
murrer to the plea was sustained,

LEWIS WILLIAMS DEATH.
The Trial of william Alder for His
Murder Begun.

Murder Begun.
The case of William Alder, charged
with the murder of Lewis Williams, a
former police officer, on the LIST of Octo-
ber last, was called in the Criminal
Court to-day. The killing, which oc-
Cured near Bennings Station, was the
result of an alteration, which occurred
near Weeden's store, during which, it is
alleged, Williams struck Alder in the
head with piece of brick and fractured
his skull, causing death in few hours.
Alder gives his age as u years. He is
represented by Il. NJ. Hewlett, District
Attorney Worthington appearing for the
Government.
The usual difficulty in securing jury
was experienced, and, at about IL
o'clock, the court adjourned until 1
o'clock. Twenty talesmen were ordered
to be drawn in the meantime.
Several talesmen were excused on the
ground of conscientious scruples.
When DR.. G. r. Whiting was called,
rather an amusing dialogue occurred.
There had been, more than the usual
anxiety to be excused from service,
and the court was becoming very close
inthe catechism as to the requirements.
Have you any conscientious scruples
regarding capital punishmcnt2''
'No, sir; but l have heart disease.

eyes, sir; the responsibility for hu-
man life would produce the same anxiety
in either case. My heart being in its
present condition, itwould unquestion-
ably be injuriously Affected"
1t was soon apparent that the doctor
had fund of medical data upon which
he was prepared to draw in order to sus-
tain his position, and he was excused
without further examination.

JOHN BRosNAN's LICENSE.
Tho Attorney for the District Says That
n should be Cancelled.


The District Commissioners have re-
ceived from Attorney Riddle his opin-
ion on the question ~ to whether they
have the power TO cancel the license of
John Brosnan of 20l G street northwest
after it had been issued.
This is the case in which Captain S. s.
Blackford, the temperance worker, lost
his life while trying to have Mr.. Resin
ger Withdraw his approval to Brosnan's
application for license.
Attorney Riddle, after detailing the
facts in connection with the case, decides
that the licenses was improperly issued
and should be cancelled He says:
"Thc license was Improperly granted.
The conditions on which alone 1t could
issue did not at the time exist, though
the action of the Commissioners was of
course in good faith. recommend
that the license be cancelled, as issued in
advertently and not authorized by law;
that the license fec be refunded, and
that the applicant have notice of this ac-
tioh, and that he be not prosecuted for
any violation of the license law within
twenty-four hours after service of such
notice, save for oifenses penal under a
regularly issued license"

A VETERAN BIGAMIsT,
The Career of William Harvey Brought to
Sudden Stop.

Sudden Stop.
William Harvey, who has earned u
widespread reputation as an enterpris-
ing bigamist, had hearing before the
United States Commissioner in Scranton,
Pa, last Friday. Detective Joseph
Carter of this city was on hand to take
him into custody, but the marshal there
claimed that the Washington officials
had no authority to take him until he
had first been delivered to the United
States authorities at Pittsburg. The
commissioner took the information
given by Mr.. Carter and issued war;
rant ON the charge of bigamy, and one
for arrest as fugitive from Justice, bail
being fixed at $4,000. He could furnish
no bond, and was taken into the charge
of the marshal. He was removed to
Pittsburg, and to-day they were to have
hearing before the United States Judge
to get warrant for his removal from
that jurisdiction.
On November IS, 1880, Harvey was
married to Martha Travis at Kansas
City, Mo. He left her and came to
Washington and boarded with his aunt,
Mrs. Barnard, who knew nothing of his
previous alliance. He next married
his cousin, Minnie l.. Barnard, the cere-
mony being performed June 2S, 1854, by
the Rev. DIR. Naylor at the Foundry NJ.
Il. Church. They removed to Rochester,
n. V, where Miss Barnard learned of
his previous marriage. She returned at
once to Washington. Miss Barnard is
not vet 90 wears old.

PENNIES VERY SCARCE.
The Mint Very Busy and Far Behind Its


"Can you let me have dollars worth
of pennies?" asked young man enter
tering one of the city stores, holding u
bill in his hand, this morning.
"1ndeed, cannot" responded the
CASHIER" pennies are very scarce now;
we hardly have enough for our own use"
The mint at Philadelphia has been
turning out from $1,000 to 81, 800 in pen
nies and five cent pieces daily for long
time, and yet it is n month behind in its
work. The demand began last October,
and is greater than ever before in the
history of the mint, although S9l6,500
in nickels and cents have been made
and shipped to the various States and
Territories in the past fiscal year.
The cause for the great demand is the
fact that pennies are now used in every
State and Territory in the Union. I'm
til few years ago nothing smaller than
nickel was used in the West. For the
past year or two pennies have circulated
in all the Western States. The mint
receives orders from nearly all the West
crn States and from some of the Terri
tories. There is one business house in
Chicago that sends an order every.week
for $4,000 in pennies and nickes. The
mint has not been able TO supply the
damand, although it turns out about
400, 900 pennies daily, and about 10000
nickels. There Is also demand from
the banks for new quarters and half dol
lar pieces and for gold dollars. by the
LIST of January the mint will have coined
10000 gold dollars, and that will suffice
tOr the present.
